Fiat’s Post

This is why the future of FIAT is bleak.

It's virtually impossible to create something new.   All we can do is offer the same, a little different.  27% of all cars sold are grey- not an insignificant number. FIAT had a wonderful idea to separate itself from the competition with one simple decision: no more grey.  In doing so, FIAT associated itself closely with Italy again, consequently with passion, excitement, creativity, and fun.  It created differentiation with one act of courage. #brand #branding #brandstrategy #differentiation

The Stellantis vs. Renault Group innuendo bout continues in a healthy but competitive spirit heading into round three. This (see film below) was a decent response from Fiat, lined with a great sense of humour, listing its "global" achievements. However with Renault winning the European Car Of The Year award yesterday and the brand with the diamond claiming all the headlines in Geneva, thanks particularly to so many "no-shows" and its 30-minute marathon Renault 5 presentation fully in the spotlights, round two goes to Renault. However, there is no sign of a knock-out blow yet. Expect the next half decade of product launches to include a wealth of retrospective heritage references topping up rich brand heritages, something Chinese brands don't necessarily have (assuming they are not purchased-in) making BMW Group's #MINI-brand look like a fresh off-the-paper design. Renault appears to be going for a rich mix of products investing relatively heavily in product development (multi-link suspension on #r5 and a BEV-dedicated platform) and perhaps more confident on pricing ticking more boxes where higher prices can potentially be commanded and defining the differentiation to Dacia more clearly, while Stellantis appear to be leveraging their scale using a multi-drivetrain platform and being more aggressive on pricing and in-turn margins if all goes to plan. The dangers: de Meo is overestimating customer willingness to pay more for an "over-engineered" product perhaps gained from his Winterkorn days at Volkswagen Group. Stellantis possibly underestimates Northern European appetite for BEV-dedicated models, in regions that are willing to pay more. Renault vs. Stellantis may be fun but there are others that will likely use the opportunity to sneak into the market while these two are distracted with each other. The future incumbent strategy appears to be about looking backwards and injecting some of the rich brand and product history locked away in their museum collection vaults to counter highly progressive modern products coming to market, lacking however that key ingredient: heritage. If you're looking for the CEO, you'll find them in the museum!!

Let's see your answer? A Bugatti Chiron moving at speed of 450km/h has its headamps on. What is the speed of the light coming out of that head lamp considering : 1.speed of light in vacuum(1,079,252,848.8 km/h). 2. The speed of the Bugatti.

The Maserati My 27-yr old son shot me a text yesterday with a link to a 2016 Maserati Ghibli S with 69,000 miles and the following note: "What are your thoughts on this deal?" The text was notable for two reasons: 1) he was asking me for advice, and 2) he was asking me for advice about cars. So this would bring the total number of times he's asked me for advice to approximately three times (slight exaggeration), and the total number of times he's expressed interest in owning a car to approximately one time (no exaggeration). Anyway, if you have teenagers or adult children, you're thrilled when they ask you for your opinion about anything. Thrilled. And as a car guy, I was also mildly panicked that he was seriously considering this particular purchase. So I called him and said, "Son, there are three reasons why I don't think you should pursue this: 1) it's a Maserati, 2) it's an old Maserati, and 3) it's a Maserati." He laughed and said he thought that was probably the case, and then we had a delightful conversation about possible alternatives. Our call only lasted five or ten minutes, but it made me happy. Why? Well, apart from having the opportunity to chat with my son, whether you're a parent, a mentor, a friend, or a colleague, it's always nice to be asked your opinion, and it's even nicer when you feel you bring real value to the discussion. My apologies (and condolences) to those of you with Maseratis, especially old Maseratis ;)

Fiat has an impeccable design. It has its own character which is unmatchable with its superior erected quality. Also, it is a small machine, known for its commodious/ ample innards. Especially, edict one of the favorites among Indians, it stood in an excellent performance, responsibility, continuity, energy effectiveness, and low conservation. https://lnkd.in/gnNJ46uQ Fiat #fiatcars #fiatmanufacturingcompany #caroftheday #italiancars #italy #calanjiyam #blogging #blogarticles #newsarticles
